A runner will never be successful if he loses focus. He must keep his eyes on the course, watching the race as it unfolds.
So it is with our Christian journey. We must keep our focus. We must keep our eyes on the Lord. He’s our example.
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Many times we look at the mountain we must climb or the valley we face rather than looking unto the Lord for guidance and strength.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face; and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.
